Global Money Week 2025
Global Money Week 2025 was held from March 17 to 23, with the theme "Think before you follow, wise money tomorrow," highlighting how digital finance trends, "finfluencers," and artificial intelligence impact young people and their financial decisions.
Strengthening financial literacy can help young people better navigate financial markets and identify biased advice, ultimately leading to more informed financial decisions. The Talk Money Facebook and LinkedIn shared activity ideas for Global Money Week that are great for any time of year.
